Summary:Change of soil physical and chemical properties due to forest fire in East Kalimantan had been observed at HPH PT INHUTANI I Long Nah area. This study was conducted on Red Yellow Podzolic soils (Typic tropudults) under unburned and burned forest stands with much relief (15-30 percent slopes). The results showed that forest fire did affect soil acidity, Mg cation, base saturation of three soil surface. P and K, both extractable and total, as well as cation exchange capacities are also different significantly until 100 cm depths. Some physical and chemical properties of the soil after three years of burning are not significantly different between burned forest soil and unburned forest soil. As a whole, the physical and soil conditions are inferior in burned forest area
